Mayhew: Lions broke free of losing momentum

After finishing with a four-game win streak and a 6-10 season, are the Lions over the hump? Have they turned the corner? There is some debate about that.

General manager Martin Mayhew has weighed in with his perspective. He doesn’t know what the key was to the turn-around or he would have fixed it two years ago, but he likes the results.

“I just think it’s the kind of thing, when you build that kind of momentum as a team, winning momentum like the Steelers have and the Patriots have, they know how to win football games,’’ Mayhew said. “And you can build losing momentum the same way. And we had built that up over a long period of time and I think we finally broke free of that.’’
